Okay Minka; Here is what I can tell you about the 600 tests. The food trials are overseen by Waltham. The tests are done at our plants. I can not list the individual tests by themselves. Nutro accepts no compromises on food quality and safety. This thread has drifted way too far. If you want to continue this via PM I would be more than happy to take it there.
No one invests more in pet quality and pet safety than we do. We invest millions of dollars to ensure the quality of our foods, and we rigorously check every product we produce. We know when it comes to your pet, you wouldn’t want it any other way.
